While using my Wallstreet, I always get a low battery warning, if I fail to notice that it is in need of charging. However, with the iBook I am using now, I get no such warning. It is also running Jaguar, like the Wallstreet, so is this a hardware related "feature", or is there anything I can do to make such a warning appear? I have become so accustomed to the Wallstreet's warning, that on more than one occasion I have allowed the iBook to run out completely, which I understand is not a good idea with a Lithium Ion battery.
Any suggestions, please?

Is a dual-USB iBook? The Apple discussion forums are full of posts about the batteries in these models. I have one that shows about two hours in the menu bar, but routinely sleeps after only five minutes or less of use. Apple did create a reset utility for them, but a number of people say that actually decreased their run time instead. I installed it but it didn't change anything.
